"It's [a journalist's] job to get people to listen to stories that are sometimes difficult." -Alex Kotlowitz

We’ve rounded up a great collection of photos, coverage and a Storify from the Truth & Trust symposium. Did we miss anything? Please add it in the comments, and we’ll update the post. We also expect to have video from the event soon.

STORIFY

Angela Washeck is a freelance writer and editor based in Dallas. She is a proud graduate of Texas A&M University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a journalism minor. Angela also writes for MediaBistro’s 10,000 Words blog and TexasMonthly.com, and she once interned with the TV news magazine “Dan Rather Reports.” Her work has been republished on Editor & Publisher, the American Press Institute and more. When Angela is not busy with PBS MediaShift work, you can find her watching “How I Met Your Mother” reruns, watching Aggie football and attending indie/folk concerts in Dallas. Follow her @angelawasheck.

My question is where was the city’s African American press represented on the panel? The Chicago Defender? The Chicago Crusader? WVON Radio? The Chicago Citizen? Were they invited?
